Hi again!

Many thanks Marcus for the patch and getting it git-official :)

I wonder if someone could write a Wiki page about different
techniques how beginners like me can spot and easily test for this
kind of wine's code problems.

Thanks to this bug, Wine-1.3.10 + winecfg's audio tab could be taken
as the example and wiki could show how to use different tools
(warn+heap, valgrind, gcc options, ...) and what tools' output to
expect in case of such bugs.


Regards,
W.

PS: Marcus, i noticed "found by my overflow checking patches" in
http://source.winehq.org/patches/data/69925. Are these patches
publicly available? ;)
